Plus, a couple of generic looking Dendrobiums I received as a child.
I live in 'Aiea on the island of O'ahu where average humidity is around 60-80%, temperatures are between 55F (the coldest it will ever get at night in the winter) and 90F (the hottest day in summer), but usually is around 75-85F. I have various spots around my house and property that can accommodate full sun to full shade and almost constantly have nice, trade wind breezes - unless of course the dreaded Kona winds come and blow the vog in from Hawai'i Island. I've got several orchids on cork, in baskets, or pots (both plastic and ceramic) and have a few pieces of fern bark waiting for occupants.
